(By KIRK! L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst) Japanese moves in the Philippines and Indian Ocean ‘are chap- lng f0 a definite pattern.

The other American naval handicap on which Tokyo's warlords "Yllillllblefll? 8TB cflllnllng is the fact that exec-pf. for rfiving task forces, United States seapower In the Pnclflc Is necessarily disposed to safe-
